I support Thiago Pezzo <pezzo@protonmail.com>'s request to become a Debian
Developer, non-uploading.

I have worked with Thiago Pezzo on Brazilian Portuguese translation team and
organizing Debian events in Brazil for 6 years and I consider them as having
sufficient technical, social and political competences.

Thiago has helped to translate Debian website, po-debconf files, package
descriptions (He is one of coordinators), and others.
He has been member of core organizers events such as MiniDebConfs Online Brasil
(2024), Belo Horizonte (2024), Maceió (2025) and Campinas (2026); and Debian Day
in his city. 

Examples of contributions:

Due to his social background, Thiago brought a more human perspective to our
community, and I believe It's important to have different point of view about
how to deal with our activities and how to deal with new contributors.

I have personally worked with Thiago Pezzo <pezzo@protonmail.com>
(key 0C0CF94B77C78E1D738C55CDA85D180B1ADA0021) for 6 years, and I know Thiago
Pezzo can be trusted to be a full member of Debian, right now.

I have worked with Thiago Pezzo on Brazilian debian l10n team and with some
debian events in Brazil for more than 6 years and I consider them as having sufficient technical competence.

Thiago has proven himself over time to be an extremely reliable person, easy to get along with, and very committed to the processes of the activities in which he is involved.
